                Why is there an Annual Release of the WDPA Dataset?</p>
            <p>
                The WDPA is a work in progress, continually being updated once new information becomes
                available. Each year UNEP-WCMC, under the principles of the Conservation Commons<sup><a
                    href="FAQ.aspx#CC">2</a></sup>, prepares and releases a global GIS<sup><a href="FAQ.aspx#GIS">3</a></sup>
                dataset of protected areas. This static version contains all data improvements made
                to the WDPA (up to and including February 2009) since the previous annual release
                in December 2007.
            </p>
            <p class="faq_qst colps_head" style="font-size: 10px;">
                (More Details...)</p>
            <div class="faq_answr colps_body">
                <p>
                    The annual release serves the global conservation community by providing a standard
                    dataset of our current knowledge of protected areas globally. This dataset acts
                    as a resource for NGOs, researchers, universities and government agencies through
                    supporting and strengthening conservation studies, research and decision making.
                    It is also widely utilised by the private sector. In order to download the WDPA,
                    you need to be a <a href="Register.aspx">registered user</a> (registration is free).
                    Downloads of the WDPA and the Annual Release 2009 is primarily for non-commercial
                    users; however commercial users may contact UNEP-WCMC directly via <a href="mailto:wdpacommercial@unep-wcmc.org ">
                        wdpacommercial@unep-wcmc.org </a>to discuss access. Commercial requests for
                    this data will not be unreasonably withheld.</p>

                What is in the WDPA Annual Release?</p>
            <p>
                The Annual Release includes all nationally designated (e.g. National Parks, Nature
                Reserves) and internationally recognized protected areas (e.g. UNESCO World Heritage
                Sites, Ramsar Wetlands of International Importance) currently held in the WDPA,
                up to end of February 2009. This static version incorporates all data improvements
                made to the WDPA since the previous annual release in December 2007.</p>
            <p class="faq_qst colps_head" style="font-size: 10px;">
                (More Details...)</p>
            <div class="faq_answr colps_body">
                <p>
                    The annual release dataset is distributed in a GIS file format known as shapefiles
                    (.shp) and GIS capable software is therefore required to view these files. For registered
                    WDPA users without specialised knowledge of GIS or the use of GIS-capable software,
                    data can also be accessed as .kml files, viewable with Google Earth by using the
                    search engine at <a href="http://www.wdpa.org" target="_blank">www.wdpa.org</a>.
                    However downloads are limited to per country level.</p>
                In those cases where a protected area boundary has not been mapped (delineated),
                or the boundary files are unavailable, centre point (geographic) locations are used
                in the WDPA. Therefore this release will contain both polygon (boundary) and point
                (geographic location) shapefiles representing the available information. Accompanying
                (and contained within) the shapefiles is an attribute table that contains key fields
                of information about the protected areas stored in the WDPA.

                        2. Subsets of the global dataset. Due to the size of this dataset and recognizing
                        that not all users will require the whole dataset, the following subsets are available:

                    With every shapefile there is a separate table (.dbf) that contains source information
                    (metadata) for every site as well as the 2009 WDPA Annual Release Attribute Data
                    Structure document. All shapefiles use the WGS84 (Geographic) projection. Also,
                    there are overlaps in sites between subset datasets, so depending on your interest
                    you may not need to download all the available datasets.</p>
                <p>
                    Where publishing or licensing restrictions exist, it is not always possible for
                    the WDPA to include or distribute data for certain countries.

                What have been the major changes since the 2007 WDPA Annual Release?
            </p>
            <p>
                Throughout 2008, the extensive redevelopment of the WDPA into a web enabled spatial
                database platform was ongoing, culminating in the launch of v1.0 of the WDPA portal
                at the IUCN World Conservation Congress in October 2008. The redevelopment also
                resulted in changes to the existing data structure and the addition of new attributes
                (such as those specific to marine protected areas).</p>
            <p class="faq_qst colps_head" style="font-size: 10px;">
                (More Details...)</p>
            <div class="faq_answr colps_body">
                <p>
                    During this period, data improvement work was ongoing as well as transfer of legacy
                    data from the old system into the new WDPA. By February 2009, 100% of all legacy
                    data has been transferred and internal data validation processes (geography, geometry,
                    topology and attributes) had been performed. From March 2009 work will continue
                    on the crosschecking of results of the internal data validation processes and making
                    corrections where possible.</p>

                    <strong>Since the last annual release (December 2007):</strong>
                    <li>Major update of spatial and attribute data: USA, Australia, Tanzania, Uganda, Republic

                        Serbia, Seychelles, Hungary, Mexico, Argentina, Nigeria and Cape Verde.</li>
                    <li>The global spatial marine protected areas (MPA Global) database was fully integrated.</li>
                    <li>Removal of the following international conventions due to incomplete data coverage,

                    <li>UNESCO Cultural World Heritage Sites have been removed as they do not conform to
                        the IUCN definition of a protected area.</li>
                    <br />
                    A number of other countries underwent minor data improvements.
